We discussed them living with us before we married and the plan has always been to either buy a house with an apartment or build one. We tried to build one, but after 3 blueprint revisions his mom still didn't like it. They said they will cook, and I believe them, but the communication issue is a huge one for me. I have told him about it, but nothing changes. I leave before she is awake and get home earlier than him in the afternoon so she doesn't spend 10 hours in daycare. To be honest, I think he is being a little selfish.” -- ramseyquipp
